Re: Copy Pasting on HP-UX terminals

There are many ways to copy and paste with SecureCRT. You can highlight the text and press CTRL+Insert, then paste the result in the same window or Notepad or Word or another SecureCRT windows with Shift+Insert.

Or you can highlight the text, then press the left mouse button and you'll see a selection of copy/paste options. In the same window, the copy+paste option is quite useful.

Still lots of choices: How did you copy from Notepad? Did you highlight the text then use CTRL+Insert or CTRL+v? Or have you turned on the Windows copy-paste option in SecureCRT (see http://www.vandyke.com/support/tips/nl102004.html for details). And when you pasted the text, did you use CTRL-v or Shift+Insert? Or do you use a special macro that enables the right mouse button to paste text?

Is this behavior 100% repeatable or is it erratic? Do you have a flaky keyboard or mouse? Are you pasting into a vi session or just on the shell's command line? Or are you pasting into a special application?

I don't know what refresh means. Do you mean how to clear the screen? If you are running vi, then the character CTRL-L will rewrite the screen. There is no such feature in the shell as the shell does not remember the screen contents.

Dennis is correct about HP terminals (hpterm and Reflection for HP). The HP terminals are quite sophisticated and binary files can send escape sequences to the emulator that leave it in an undefined state. However, SecureCRT emulates dumb terminals and they do not have as many features as HP smart terminals. But garbage characters can confuse the emulator so to reset the terminal, select Edit -> Reset.
